It took the first place across all channels, including pay TV, IPTV and public broadcast networks, during the same timeslot, with rating peaks at 6.0% among male and female aged 20-49.

At this critical moment, an unexpected incident gives Joo-hyuk the ability to move back and forth from his past. Will he be able to salvage the marriage? Stay tuned to find out.
